Top Sausalito Outdoor Activities

Jo did an excellent job sharing details about the area while also focusing on customer service. Highly recommend.

Our driver, Jo was excellent! She gave interesting insight information about both San Francisco and Sausalito, their history, notable people who were residence of the city as well as information about the history of John Muir and how he what instrumental in preserving Muir Woods.

This 2 day trip was a splurge for our family, and it was worth every penny. Nicolas not only took great care of us, but he was very knowledgeable and made sure we stayed on schedule without feeling rushed. Seeing the redwoods was on my bucket list, and I couldn’t have imagined doing it any better. Our party was three generations: two grandparents, two parents, two kids (9 and 11) and Nicolas made sure every stop was engaging for each of us. From the beautiful trees to the rest stops, this trip was unbeatable. We didn’t encounter any crowds even though it was busy season. We will remember it for a lifetime. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with this company again should we have the opportunity.

Enjoyable day. Pep was our tour guide and she kept everyone entertained throughout the trip to and from Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur. The scenery was beautiful and we enjoyed a nice lunch, a sweet treat, and a stroll through Carmel before heading on to the Big Sur area.

🌊 Amazing Big Sur Experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had such a great time with Pep on our tour from Carmel to Big Sur! We cruised down the coast in a Tesla, stopped for some short walks, and soaked in all the amazing views. The scenery was just stunning. Pep even brought along a local specialist who knew so much about the area — that was such a cool touch! Super fun, easygoing, and really memorable. Totally recommend this tour if you want a laid-back but awesome way to see the coast!

Oh My God this was such a great day with Ben. Started with catching the ferry over to Sausalito to meet up with Ben just at the wharf / really easy to do and a great way to start off. Then a short drive and we are there - Ben was born and raised in the area and did it like the back of his hand - great stories. Ok so this is all about the trees. Amazing - I have never seen anything like it. I was not disappointed. Easy walk - we had a variety of ages from quite young to retirees (well into retirement) and Ben made sure all the way along that everyone was good. I would very happily do this trip again next year when I am back.

We have been in the Bay area many, many times but this was our first hike in Mill Valley. We are from New York. This walk was better than just going to Muir Woods. Ben was an excellent guide and had many personal stories about the place. It was not a strenuous hike, more like a walk.

This two-day tour exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Brandon, was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly accommodating. We expressed interest in visiting Fern Canyon, which is located a bit further north than the usual itinerary, and on the second day, Brandon made it happen, along with a visit to Wedding Rock. These experiences were the highlights of our trip.We would certainly choose this company again for future tours if we return to the area. Spending time with Brandon was delightful, and honestly, opting for a private tour was the best decision.Golden Horizon Travel responded quickly to all my questions. They were willing to work with us to ensure we had a personalized and memorable experience.

Be sure to prepare for curvy roads if you are prone to motion sickness. Wonderful tour that I would do again. Muir Woods is exceptional.

Lana, our guide, was AMAZING. This was my best experience in San Fran largely because I lucked out with her as a guide. Not all the guides are like her. If you can request her - do it! The Muir Woods were so beautiful as was Sausalito. This was worth the visit if you enjoy a nice walk through the wilderness, nicely combined with some leisure time along the bay.

Brandon was very knowledgeable.He seemed just as amazed as we were on all our findings. He went out of his way to fulfill our dreams. Enjoyed the ride and the companionship. He was a class act. So surprised with the quality.Thank you for such a wonderful time.

My friend and I had a great day out with our tour guide, Pep. Pep was very knowledgeable about the area with dome fun facts. She was also flexible on how we structured our tour. This tour was breathtaking and well worth it. The views and photos we got to take were stunning. I highly recommend this tour.

Ben answered every question and explained in detail the forest and how it is essential to the earth’s wellbeing.

Our guide Ben was an amazing tour guide. He knew the history, hikes and ecological system of Muir Woods as if he had lived there! We hiked 4.5 miles, with plenty of stops and Ben will adjust time, length and level of hike to meet your needs. I would strongly suggest this tour. It is a highlight for anyone visiting the San Francisco area.

Awesome, extremely safe driving, Awesome providing details of the area. Would definitely book wirh same guide/resource and Cool Destinations

Entering the land of the giants was truly magical. Seeing the Redwoods has been on my wish list since I was a little girl. We considered just going to Muir Woods, which is a lot closer to San Francisco, but my research told me I wouldn't be satisfied. Those are younger, MUCH smaller Redwoods. Recognizing the distance from San Fran and wanting to see as much as we could in 2 days, this tour was perfect. Our guide, Mary, promptly picked us up. We made some stops along the way to see other interesting places. Entering the Avenue of Giants was AMAZING. She walked us (Mom 60ish, 3 adults 25-35 yrs old) through the trails, took family photos for us so we didn't need to do selfies or ask other visitors to take our photo. Our first day ended with a stay at the Eureka Inn, a charming inn that was once visited by former Presidents and celebrities. We had a fabulous dinner at a local pub that served one of the best filet mignons I've ever eaten. On our 2nd day, we headed more north to see even bigger Redwoods before heading back to San Fran. Our jaws kept dropping when we entered the forests. Both days were long, 12 hours each, but we loved every second. Being a native, Mary was very knowledgeable of the area and shared info and stories with us as we went along. She made recommendations and gave us choices on what we wanted to see or do within the time we had. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you want to see the real Red Woods, I can't recommend this tour enough. It's worth every penny & second.
